Winograd: Olmert responsible for war failures

“We find the prime minister responsible, ministerially and personally, for the faulty decisions that were made and the faults in the decision-making process,” reads the partial Winograd Commission report.
“The prime minister had formulated his standpoint without having seen a detailed plan and without demanding that such a plan be presented, so he could not have scrutinized it and approved it,” the report states. “Furthermore, he did not request any alternatives for consideration and did not show appropriate reservation regarding the army’s position. This was his failure.” (Attila Somfalvi and Amnon Meranda)
